There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Ridgway to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
